What My Patients Say
I have also realized that I have a genetic blood deficiency referred to as MTHFR. One of the side effects of this is a reduced ability get rid of toxins which may account for the hives. Another side effect is a reduced ability to absorb nutrients. After suggesting simple measures to help with this, I now have more energy that I have had in years and I just feel wonderful! Thank you so much Cedar. You are a such a blessing to me.” -D.F.
“Cedar was the first person to honestly take a whole body approach to my health and in doing so has given me a new lease on life.” – M.R.
“Cedar always makes me feel so good! I look forward to my acupuncture.” – D.N.
“I have come to rely on Cedar for relief and healing of many of my ailments. I don’t even know how to express all the help that I have from treatment here. If you have ever considered acupuncture or are curious if it may help you, make an appointment here and begin your journey to relief.” -S.A.
“I decided to try acupuncture to treat persistent neck pain, insomnia, lack of energy, and back pain (basically, getting older). I have been seeing a chiropractor for my neck, but it was no longer helping – the problem wasn’t alignment, it was something else.
On a hunch I visited Cedar, having no faith in alternative ‘medicines.’ Cedar is one of the rare professionals who treats her practice professionally, with none of the ‘voodoo’ that I was expecting with alternative medicine.
The results were positive beyond my expectations. Within 2 visits I felt immensely better and now with regular visits every few weeks my neck no longer bothers me, I sleep better, my energy has improved, and I deal with stress better.
I highly recommend her to my friends and family.” – M.F.
“I’ve been a lifelong insomniac. I’ve seen various doctors over the years and even took a sleep test when I was in college. If you’ve ever suffered through a day at the office after a sleepless night, you know the agony that just one lost night of sleep can cause, now multiply that by a whole lifetime and you’ll have an idea of the complete lack of quality of life I was experiencing.
After a cancer diagnosis, I decided I had to get this sleep thing under control. It became a matter of life and death. On a whim, I made an appointment with Cedar.
She is a master herbalist and we settled on a formula that has given me my life back. I had to miss a few days due to another medical test I was taking which required no supplements for 6 days. And consequently, I didn’t sleep a night that week. As soon as I started back on my Acupuncture and herbs though, my sleep and sanity returned.
I finally have the energy to catch up on mountains of piled up projects and to start my own business which I never could have done while sleepwalking through my life. ” -M.R.
“I have sought Cedar’s care on several occasions. Her herbs and tinctures have helped with colds, coughs and even tight muscles. Being a performing musician can take toll on the body in many ways. As a keyboardist sitting on my rear for long periods of time, my hemorrhoids, (caused by pregnancy) were becoming unbearable!
After the birth of my second child I had them worse than ever. I tried creams, drinks, antiinflammatories for months and finally resorted to acupuncture. I kid you not- the day after treatment from Cedar they were GONE! I have to attest to Mrs. Kennedy’s supreme acupuncture skills- otherwise I’d never even admit to the public that I had hemorrhoids! I have witnessed her skill and intuition help alleviate many ailments from migraine headaches to severe muscle distress. Mrs. Kennedy prescribes herbs (which have done away with IBS for a friend of mine), does muscle work, acupuncture and even non-invasive pressure point work for those too skittish for the needle. In short, Cedar Kennedy’s sessions come highly recommended. Her in-depth knowledge of the body, organs and energy flow is amazing and her treatments, are effective.” – D.Q.
“Initially I asked Cedar to treat me for seasonal allergies because I didn’t like the long term side effects of the nasal steroids I had come to depend on. During the initial interview I was pleased to find out that she could also treat arthritis pain in my knees, muscle pain in my neck and depression as well. I’m very pleased that after a handful of visits, I no longer have sharp pain and very little stiffness in my knees. The muscle pain in my back is gone. My allergies this season have been very mild and I feel great.” – M.J.
“I have been a patient of Cedar Kennedy’s for many years – and she has helped me with numerous ailments, from the simple cold to more long-term illnesses and imbalances. I had never tried acupuncture before visiting her, but she explained everything and made me comfortable throughout the process. It was shocking how effective even one treatment could be! One of the things I appreciate about Cedar is that she is honest about what to expect and clearly let me know when she didn’t think it would be effective for my issue. She also has a network of amazing doctors, healers and therapists in Eastern and Western Washington that she recommends when she feels their expertise is needed.
In addition to acupuncture, Cedar has a wealth of knowledge of herbal medicines and supplements. She makes sure that whatever treatments she recommends fit her client’s needs. When I hated the taste of an herbal remedy, she quickly found a solution (capsules instead of tea)! I appreciate that her approach is tailored to the client and not one-size-fits-all. I am also impressed with her willingness to research and learn – it’s common for her to pull out a reference book and dig deeper into whatever mysteries of health and wellness we are working on for that specific visit. I highly recommend Cedar to anyone looking to add acupuncture and herbal medicine to their wellness routines.” – H.A.
“Very grateful to have found a local professional in Acupuncture and medicine. Thank you, Cedar!” -L.G.
“I just finished an Acupuncture session with Cedar. I have RA and my ankles were compromised to the point of having difficulty walking without pain, which affected my balance and quality of life. Not anymore! I entered her treatment with pain at 100%. I left with mobility, pain at 10% and a follow up appointment. Her depth of knowledge and skill are amazing. I highly, highly recommend Cedar. As an added bonus, she’s a great storyteller. Thank you, Cedar!” – J.A.
“Cedar is exactly what I need right now. I was very pleased in every way. Thank you.” -S.C.
“I have been doing acupuncture and Chinese medicine with Cedar Kennedy and the experience is top notch! She is very compassionate and real and she takes as much time as she can with you! It’s a very rare find and I highly recommend her!” -M.F.
“I’ve been getting acupuncture with Cedar over the years and it’s changed my life. I go for chronic migraines and the day I started seeing her they stopped. It’s the only solution I’ve ever found to work and it’s relaxing and natural. Besides the migraines, acupuncture also helps my allergies, back pain, and stress relief. I absolutely love her and all the helpful tips and suggestions she has for me as well! I love Cedar.” -D.H.
“Today, I had my first acupuncture session with Cedar. I really appreciated her time and care. She listened closely to my concerns. After my arthritis treatment with acupuncture & Red Light Therapy, the pain in my hands disappeared. To find relief from my chronic pain was wonderful! I highly recommend Cedar for pain management.”-M.
“It’s a good feeling telling someone how your body feels and them actually taking time to sort you out like a puzzle. Cedar knows her Chinese Medicine and it shows! I always feel heard, seen, and above all comfortable in her space and presence.” -S.G.
“I am a client of Cedar’s. I’ve been seeing her for acupuncture treatments for my neck pain. After only a few visits I am feeling improvements and would recommend her to anyone!” -A.B
“I first met Cedar about 12 years ago and I had severe foot pain from all-over inflammation. She was able to give me answers my neurologist couldn't. After three visits pain was so much better and I could walk.
Fast forward to now and after a car accident concussion and whiplash Cedar has helped me be able to function and headaches are getting better and anxiety gone for the most part. The fact that she is continuing her education which is already amazing and she is soon to be top dog in her field of Chinese Medicine speaks volumes for me, and the struggles I've had with doctors wanting to script away all my pain has made me believe she is my best bet and also my choice to become healthy and well again. She listens and takes notes and works with me each visit to focus on what is bothering me while I recover and if there's ever a question she gets back to me fast with answers and her Chinese herbs have been better than any costly medication ever! She is empathetic and mostly she has a huge heart and gets what I am dealing with. I trust her beyond and am so impressed with her knowledge. Cedar Kennedy continues to help so many here in Tri-Cities, she's my godsend.” - N.P
“With Cedar's help, I have found relief from pain for various problems from my heels to knees to headaches. I've been coming back for acupuncture from her for several years and feel confident in her abilities. I highly recommend her for folks in Tri-Cities.” - D.V.
I’m grateful to the thousands of people who’ve trusted me with their care.
“I tried many different doctors and treatments over the years and I can honestly say that I got more positive results with Cedar than with anyone else. She is a wonderful healer.” – D.W.
“I have often thought about what I would say with regard to the wonderful experiences and positive changes I received under Cedar’s care. I initially came in because of severe depression and was desperate to try anything. I found Cedar to be very professional and caring. I felt that she covered all details during my many visits and once she even prevented me from catching a cold! My depression went away, my anxiety gradually lessened and is now gone thankfully. I have also come in with back pain which she attended to and my energy levels increased as well. More importantly I have been able to get a full night’s rest since I started seeing her. As many of you who struggle with sleep know, a good night’s sleep is paramount! In one word, I would say that Cedar is ‘blessed’.
Her ability to heal and her understanding of my symptoms and how to fix them is what kept me coming back to her. That and her amazing attitude. She truly is a healer and constantly thank and send good karma her way for helping when no one else could. Thank you so much Cedar! To those of you reading this, Cedar is worth taking the time to meet with. Good luck in your journey as well.” – K.F.
“Cedar, to me, is a priceless diamond in our community! She is amazing, intelligent, gifted, skillful and is far more professional and more helpful than any ‘healer’ I have ever been to. I have had chronic hives for seven months (with break outs every day) and they were progressively getting worse.
I also had way too many food allergies and seasonal allergies. I also had rosacea. I have seen many doctors, a Naturopath, and even other Acupuncturists. No one had any idea as to why I had constant hives or what to do to alleviate them.
I felt dismissed and without hope. I have spent countless hours on the internet trying to figure out this problem. Then by divine appointment (I believe), I met Cedar while looking for some kind of supplement that might help at a local vitamin store.
I was impressed by her interest in helping me solve this mystery. At the very first visit to her office, Cedar was comprehensive and analytical in her attempt to look at all possible sources of the root cause of the hives. She seemed to enjoy the challenge.
She has been relentless in helping me solve the problem. She devised a treatment plan and also offered suggestions for what I could do on my own. After 3 months, the hives are now greatly reduced. My rosacea is much better.
